    I agree that it is not worth it to reveal that you've cheated. It causes permanent damage to the partner's psyche and irreparable damage to the relationship. Just recognize the wrong in it and move on and don't do it again, or end the relationship.

      No its not the right thing to keep youre infidelities a Secret if you know that cheating is a deal breaker to youre partner. You partner Has got every right to decide for himself if he wants to stay with you after you cheat . Id youre partner said that he would want to know about u cheating then saying that youre not telling them because you dont want to hurt them is just a stupid excuse that you
      tell yourself when in reality you dont want to face the consequences because u know that youre infidelities is something that youre partner would want to know about. If you know that cheating is a delbraker for youre partner and u cheated and k eept it a Secret because you still want to be with them then youre only doing whats best for U not youre partner . Youre doing something that only works for you not youre partner which shows what a selfish pig you really are

      Nothing good comes from confessing for the cheater because then they have to face the consequences of their actions but the betrayed partner gets find out what a pig he/she married and can get a divorce and find someone better but OBVIUSLY WHAT the cheater w ants is more important so the cheater hides his infidelities to avoid consequences.

      It’s wrong not to tell because that is not manning up to your mistake. A coward hides stuff, but a real man owns up to his mistakes and does not cheat to begin with. I get what he is trying to say but everything usually comes to light. When it does, if you did not say anything, it will make things way worse and the person will feel way bad than if he/she would of found out earlier. JMO

    That's a good advice. No one ever said that. Afterall the most important thing is not about telling her out of honesty. It's about true repentance, turning to God and never repeating the act. God would not judge anyone for not telling their spouse for their past infidelity. As a matter of fact He sees your reason for not telling. God judges ppl based on the present condition of their hearts vis-a-vis their past sins. He wants to know that you've genuinely repented from it. That's all that matters to God.

    I actually think the betrayal of not telling the other person the truth of the infidelity, is worse than the act of infidelity itself. It is better to humble yourself and be honest. If a woman cheated on a man, and did not tell him, it would be considered a horrible ordeal as well. Be honest. You have vows when you enter into a marriage, forsaking all others, be honest if there was another person, and don't cheat again.

If you cheat be honest with your partner, TOTALY HONEST, and let them decide what to do. If you cheat and don't tell you are manipulating the person and don't let them decide what to do. You are stealling their opportunity to move on and find someone better.

      I don't know what these people are thinking. If the relationship ends because you cheated and she doesn't trust you THAT'S YOUR FAULT FOR CHEATING. There is literally a biblical standard for cheating where you are permitted to divorce. Hiding it is even worse in my opinion. I don't understand garbage like this. It makes me sick to my stomach. Honesty is what honors God, not hiding sin and shame. The Bible says to confess your sins one to another. Odds are this guy has cheated and this is how he deals with it. This isn't how men should act. This kind of ideology is why women don't trust men. This is just plain foul.

    • @sr-kt9ml
      @sr-kt9ml Год назад +2

      Telling your spouse about your infidelity is what is selfish. Telling the spouse is a way of getting the guilt off your back. You can tell them and feel like you righted your wrong because at least you were honest. Well it doesn't matter if your are honest if you aren't gonna change. It's better to be honest with yourself and honest with God by making that change. By telling the spouse you're putting the hurt and guilt onto them. That's for the cheater's ego to rest. It's better for the cheater to retain the guilt and to correct their ways. They can continue to love their spouse and build a healthy relationship built in trust now that they are living the right way.

That person deserves to know the truth so they can go find someone else who won't do this to them. Also think about sexual health. What if the person who cheated contracted an std & then gave it to their partner without knowing? If you cheat, hiding it from your spouse is selfish & narcissistic of you.

But mostly they break up because cheating is something disgusting people do and no one wants to stay with a JERK. If you don't want to say it, you have only one choice: LEAVE. If you hide it and continue as if nothing happened, it's more disrespectful than cheating. You're fooling your partner and you're fooling your damn self.

    This is another example of worldy wisdom. As christians we are called to confess our sins one to another and to God. God is faithful and just to forgive us. Where in the bible does God encourage covering up sin from the person you have sinned against, especially if you are in a lifetime covenant (marriage) with the person? Before agreeing with another Christian's advice, we should examine if his words align with scripture. If you choose to cheat then you choose the consequences that come with that decision. When you decide to conceal the sin of cheating, you are not being considerate you are being selfish. It's easy to say just don't do it again, but that's not sustainable. You need accountability through the body of Christ, to take personal responsibility for your actions, including suffer the consequences of your choices and the freedom that comes confessing your sins before a holy God and the person you have wronged. In Luke 12:2 we are reminded that, But there is nothing covered up that will not be revealed, and hidden that will not be known.

    There was a scene in Gone With The Wind where Scarlett went to see her friend (cousin?) Melanie as she lay on her deathbed. Unbeknownst to Melanie, Scarlett had long been infatuated with Melanie's husband and had made a play for him several times. The doctor knew this and warned Scarlett something to the effect of, "I won't allow you to go in there and unburden yourself to Melanie. She's a good woman and deserves to die in peace." I've often thought about this scene. I realized perhaps for the first time that confessing your sins to another person is not always the right thing to do. I think you really need to pray and ask God what to do in each and every case. Truth be told, once you cheat --- there is no good solution!

      thatMimosaGrove if you know that youre partner wouldnt want to know about youre infidelities then yeah it would be selfish to tell them. But if you know that youre partner would want to know if you cheated Then its not selfish to tell them . It you know that cheating is a deal breaker for youre partner then its selfish to not tell them because you are trickiking youre partner into a relationship he dosent want to be it. IF you know that youre partner would want you to confess if you cheated because he wouldnt want to be with you no more then dont try and make it out like confessing is the wrong thing to do because it will hurt his fellings. Itd SELFISH and DISRESPECTFUL to ignore other p eoples BOUNDRIES just because you know you can get away with it . IF you know that youre partner would want to know if you cheated Then the reason why you dont want to confess is because you dont want to FACE THE CONSEQUNCES of you actions (you want to have youre cake and eat it too another selfish move )and saying that youre doing it because you dont want to hurt youre partner fellings is just a pethetic excuse that u tell yourself!!!

But youre argument that the cheater will only unburden themselfs and make themswlfs fell better and this partner fell bad is bullshit. It should be youre partners decision if they want to stay in the relationship after you cheated not yours. If cheating is a deal breaker to youre partner then by lying about you are just tricking them into being with you. But since youre a selfish little pig you will obviously choose whats best for you and avoid faicing consequences.

    I disagree. If you cheat, the relationship is already fractured and broken, whether the other person finds out or not. Truth will more than likely ruin everything but at least it provides the other person to see the light. It allows that person's partner to make their own decision whether or not they want to continue with that relationship. An omission of truth is just as bad as a lie. It's deceptive. And everything comes to light eventually.

      I have never seen a successful relationship based on lies. This attitude is exactly why I have raised my son on my own , if you think you can keep a lie covered up like that then you must think your wife or husband is an idiot, it didn't work out for my ex-wife I found out that she had cheated on my a number of times over our 14 year relationship, I tried to forgive her, I wanted to forgive her, but thank god I could not until I kicked her ass out and took custody of our son. I am much happier that I know and finally got to choose my future based on truth not bull crap, in the end it all just added up in my mind , she never admitted to it until she could deny it no longer. If you know your spouse intimately you can not fall for their lies indefinitely. I resent deeply that she stole my god given right to free choice, if she had been honest before I worked it out I would not have such resentment. My son is a fine honest young man now and if his Mum was still in the house I think he may not be that way. Cheaters and Liars disgust me.

    Jesus says confess your fault of adultery/fornication to your spouse then give them a letter of divorce.
    It’s not about forgiveness because you have to forgive each other while married or while divorced so not forgiving someone isn’t an option.
    Jesus says that having sex with your spouse after someone has had sex with them is an abomination in his eyes.
    This is why he said the only lawful way to divorce a spouse is when their is adultery/fornication.
    When you have sex with someone you become “ one flesh” that is married in the eyes of God.

So if you keep on cheating and lusting there is no difference - you are an adulterer[check this space porn watchers]. If you repent/change your ways you are no more.

    Guilt is not a product of Satan. Cheating + lying are. Cheaters operate from a low place like hell/Satan. The relationship was over when the cheater CHEATED!...Not when they fessed up. Fessing up shows that they're sorry + character. At that point when they cheated, it shows that they don't deserve that person. Loyalty deserves Loyalty. Why should someone foot the bill of a person who is not sure about their life or them?

  • @milagroman75

    Most might not agree with this, but from Jesse’s point of view, a marriage is until death and divorce is wrong. For adulterers, preserving a lifetime marriage can be impossible. Jesse believes that marriage is to be upheld and maintained no matter what the circumstance. Under those beliefs I can understand why not revealing ones cheating would be better than to tell, because it would preserve a spouse’s sanity.
    If you are having to hide your cheating, you are living in sin, but for people who believe a marriage is permanent I can understand Jesse’s opinion.

And even you dont tell the other person the other person will get confused and start doubt his/her instincts and that is even worse than knowing you betrayed. That person will carry those disfunctionalities to different areas of life too. So dont cheat(you will get your personality twisted) and you get the other persons too.

    How can you say this Jesse? So, you're essentially saying the ends (avoiding destruction of relationship...even though you already destroyed it) justify the means? I remember seeing a video of a woman feminist saying the same thing, but she advocated cheating under the auspices of, "what he doesn't know won't hurt him." If you cheat, your conscience should compel you to tell your partner out of pure shame and guilt under the auspices of God. If it's over from that point, then so be it (which in fact, is Biblical for both men and women, minus the stoning). Personally, I think stoning should come back in style so people take cheating seriously again. No Christian would ever advocate not telling the truth about cheating in order to save a marriage that is for all intents and purposes already doomed from the inside out if you're cheating.
    I'm very disappointed in this video. Yes, it seems stupid to tell your wife or husband the truth, but if you don't, it will eat you up the rest of your life. If it doesn't eat you up, and you're able to cheat and just push it down, then you have an even bigger problem in the relationship.
    As a man (or woman), take responsibility for your actions and have some self-respect. If you had self-respect you wouldn't cheat anyway.

      If you repent, why would it eat you up the rest of your life not to share that with your wife?

    Don't you love those women who happen to see a married or steady dating man they know somewhere with another woman and they HAVE to go snitch to the wife/girlfriend? They do that out of the belief they are the arbiter of good & bad, right & wrong and seat of virtue. They don't give a moment of consideration to consequence of their action on the two people involved.

    What should I do if I cheated a girl unconsciously she wasn't in a relationship with me but she was having feelings for me which I wasn't sure about that time and she proposed me I replied : you deserve someone far better than me.
    Just after she send a link of a very sad song : ja tujhe maaf kiya dil ko todna wala which means go I forgive you, who broke my heart ( it was her last reply ).
    It's been 2 yrs now and still l think about it very often( sometimes extremely dark suicidal thoughts) and curse myself for doing so cuz after that last reply I've not even seen her once.
    What should I do to forgive myself and feel free from this trap of self doubt and regret ?

      HisGrace Saves . You are right. But Jesse Lee does not follow the Bible. He follows his heart to damnation. He says many times that he does not follow the Bible. Watch his videos if you do not believe me. He's messed up in this area.

    You've already failed in the loyalty department, now don't fuck it up in the respect department as well. The feeling of guilt will hang on for years and you will carry it to your grave. Besides she might find out from someone else and then you will know that you really f'ed up.

    I think there's a deeper issue here. If you have a good person and you feel you should cheat or break it off with that person.. you have some mentality issues.. be it immaturity, or simply a bad person.. or both.
    There's no valid/logical excuse for that.
